The Will County chief judge ruled Monday that lawyers for a Lockport man who says a Roman Catholic priest sexually abused him cannot turn over sealed documents to law enforcement officials for possible criminal action. Judge Herman Haase declared that the state's attorney's office will not get depositions by priests involving allegations and inquiries on misconduct against 21 other clergymen. Those statements were sealed by Haase's protective order earlier in the case. Keith Aeschliman, the lawyer for Joseph Dittrich, asked the judge to allow the state's attorney's office to review those depositions, claiming there was reason to believe some of those named "were still sexually active."

Lawyers for the Catholic Diocese of Joliet argued Thursday that unsealing court records of church officials' handling of sexual abuse allegations against priests would embarrass victims and tar the reputations of priests who were questioned about the actions of their accused colleagues. Diocesan attorneys are trying to block court motions to make public the documents, which detail the church's handling of cases against 16 priests. The records have been under seal since shortly after they were filed in a 1993 lawsuit against a priest.
